Bird's Nests

cooking oil

3 cups mini marshmallows

3 Tbs butter (plus 1 tsp for your hands)

4 cups chow mein noodles

yogurt covered almonds or jelly beans

Line a cookie sheet with foil. Coat with cooking oil. In a saucepan, melt the marshmallows and butter together over medium heat. Stir until smooth. Put the noodles in a large bowl. Pour marshmallows over the noodles. Stir until well-coated. Rub butter on your clean hands and form a ball out of the mixture. Place on sheet and press center down with back of wooden spoon to make nest shape. Continue with the rest of the mixture. Let the nests set until firm. Fill with almonds or jelly beans.

Every ding dong day is a big fat present so let’s celebrate it! Maybe it’s Halloween, maybe it’s two days after that. Who knows? That day could be Insect Wing Day, or Stay Inside and Play Day or I’m Not Telling You What This Is Day! After all, no matter what day it is, something special’s bound to happen. So take note! Put on a funny hat, blow out a candle and make a wild wish.
